Investing in Community & Self with Zoila D. Escobar, MBA, Ed.D. - Part 1
Growing up undocumented alongside four sisters, Dr. Zoila D. Escobar says she was not meant to attend school. All of her sisters excelled in school with ease, but she struggled to read. Later as an adult, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and read her first book – cover to cover – at 19. By age 42, she received her BA, and at 52, she earned her master's degree; last year, she earned her doctorate, all while juggling full-time work and parenthood. Join us as Dr. Escobar shares how she persevered to earn her education and what led her to become one of AltaMed's executive leaders and the President of the AltaMed Foundation.

Persevering and Finding your Passion with Daniel Diaz, D.O.
Sometimes, finding your passion does not always follow a linear path. Dr. Daniel Diaz knows this from experience firsthand. Before pursuing medicine, he thought he might become a mechanical engineer or a physical therapist. However, in this episode we learn that not succeeding is not the same thing as failing. With a lifelong interest in sports and a commitment to his community, Dr. Diaz eventually found his true calling in sports medicine. His passion and enthusiasm for this specialty is evident as he paves the road for an increase in sports medicine integration at federally qualified health centers. Through his leadership, AltaMed now has a new ACGME-accredited fellowship that will build a pipeline training more sports medicine physicians committed to helping underserved patients.
